canon XL2 and 24fps

Ok possibly I´m also suffering from an early onset of alzheimers but please help if you can....

Considering one of the big things that was raved about with the Canon XL2 was the ability to shoot in 24fps why has my English, Pal XL2 only got 25fps and 50i where is my 24fps (or am I supposed to make do with 25fps and squeeze my eyes 1/2 shut?). Thanks
